The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1887-08-27

nuke any invidiouS or understandable
p PERSONAL comparisons between the two
tickets now before the voters of the
county, but we claim for the Repnbll-
can ticket on it's merits, that it IS not
only a ticket politically representative,
but represents as we'll the intelligent
business elmcnt of our people. 1t has
one especial merit, it bears no lactlonal
faint, 1t voices no local dictatorship, 1t
is the offspring OF no Offensive comb
nation. 1t has been selected by the
delegated representatives OF the people
of the county, and uncommitted to in
divldual interests.
These are conditions certainly favor
able to it's endorsement by all non
partizan as well as Republican voters.
It's standard of personal quahtica-
ton is the highest.
Three gentlemen of character and
popularity in their respective sections,
are presented as candidates for the
House of Delegates. Mr.. Charles w.
Wilson a successful builder and me-
chanic of the Sixth district whose name
heads the delegate ticket, has once be
fore given evidence of his strength be-
fore the people and will doubtless show
increased strength this fall. Mr. John
5. Settle. a merchant Of Leeds whose
enterprise, probity and fair dealing have
won for HIM a well merited reward, is
an intelligent exponent of Republican
principles, popular IN his vicinity and
universally esteemed. Mr.. Philip NJ
Groves, a farmer of the Fifth district
shares equally with his associates the
popular esteem, and is gentleman o.
character and standing.
For the important position of County
Commissioner, the ticket bears the
nqmes of three gentlemen, who have
demonstrated by the successful man,
agement of their individual affairs, theil
capacity and fitness for this important
public trust. We assert that no ticke
superior to it has ever been offered tho
electors of Cecil county. That tht
names of Bond, Williams, and Crother
are the guarantees of an honest, capa
bic, and economical administration o
this most important business office o
the people. That the announcement
of these names challenges the popula
appreciation of the suitability of tht
nominations. That they are men ment
ally equipped to execute the trust, an(
morally fortified to resist every i'm
proper influence looking to favoritisn
or partially OF official administration
That as sensible and experienced bust
ness men they appreciate the embar
rassed condition of our landed',and tax
paying classes, and that they will b,
intelligent and we'll directed financia
management, relieve so far as they can
the already over burdened tax payer
of the county, by closer scrutiny 0
accounts, and expenditures, and thu
needed stoppage Of needless drains
upon our County Treasury.
We can say nothing to commend
Mr.. L. Marshall Haines to public favo
half so forcible, as the record of his per
sonal ard professional career commend:
him. He needs no endorsement a
our hands.
Scarcely less well-known throughout
Cecil county is MIR. SarauelM. johnson
the candidate on the ticket for the
sheriffality. The measure Of his per
sonal popularity IS best taken by the
large vote he received two years ago
and his unanimous nomination on Mon
day evinces it anew. He is popular.
personally obliging, of unquesticned
integrity, and will carry into the SheriftS
office the qualifications of an efficient
and successful public officer.
For Judges of the Orphans Court
three gentlemen have been presented,
who share in a high degree the respect
Of their communities, as upright citizens
and men Of successful business records.
DR.. II. Y. Uhler settled in this county
some years ago, having purchased the
Cassidy property in the First district.
He removed here from Philadelphia
where he was at one time a member OF
the City Council. Since his residence
IN Cecil county he has won the esteem
of our people by the exhibition OF many
sterling qualities.
DR.. S. +. Roman is worthy repre-
sentative of a Cecil county family which
through many generations has stood
high in popular estimation, and Mr..
John McCleary of the Fourth district,
is a we'll known farmer universally re-
spected for industrious devotion to his
business, and for his sterling worth.
Mr.. Henry NJ. Nicols, whose name
closes the ticket, is a gentleman uni
versally recognized as an intelligent and
competent surveyoro of lands and mathe
matlcian.
We commend this ticket, in its en-
tirety, to the voters Of Cecil as one OF
the best ever submitted to them for
their suhrages. We pledge it our hearty
support by every legitimate means, and
